#LOSTLASTYEAR
An art exhibition in Benicia, CA on October 7-8, 2016 featuring artwork by Josh Bettenhausen
An exhibition of new works in sculpture, video, photography, and painting that reflects the time spent on the questions of what was lost last year.
I still daydream like a 15 year old. I paint base shapes using base colors. I draw simple stick figures in simple worlds. I write poems using simple words. Then the life I’ve lived stacks itself into shapes. Work life calls. I love to work. Picking apart the ideas that come and go. Making associations of a life in experiences turned bitter and expressed and fire and blood. All this comes together to make the artist that is me. Yes! I am this. But I don’t know what ‘this’ really is… All I know, is that with every breath I am trying to make something new.
